This layout would be insane as a flying coaster.

[@christianschweda2530]

The drop and some of the turns would be too intense, I fear, but with a few modifications, this would be one hell of a thrilling flying coaster indeed. Imagine all the near misses in flying position!

[@leo_is_a_baka]

@@christianschweda2530well i dont think it would be too intense. You have to compare it to insane and the forces on that are unbelievable

[@riparianlife97701]

Very much agree.

[@erikhjortsater5461]

@@leo_is_a_baka Eh I think the laterals, especially during the drop, would be really quite uncomfortable with west restraints. Albeit I have never ridden a flying coaster with B&M 2.0 west restrains, closest I have gotten is Valkyria but that's a dive coaster.

[@stevie3452]

So true. Flyers don’t need pretzels, they need to fly!

Monster is looking incredible. Gröna Lund are definitely onto a winner with this!

Definitely! That first drop looks insane! Its a minor miracle that they were able to fit this big coaster in such a tiny space.

[@DeeboWRLD]

@@FABHadventures is this gonna be a limited ride for this summer only like snake?

[@FABHadventures]

Monster is a permanent installation that is custom built for Gröna Lund so it will be around for many years to come.

@@FABHadventures ok nice, but wasnt there like no more space for attractions anymore? And thats why they only had snake for a limited time

[@FABHadventures]

@@DeeboWRLD Yep, Gröna Lund is full so they build the station underground and the coaster on top of buildings and walkways. The constructions has been done over several off-seasons and Snake was were the stations later was built.

What a fantastic setting for a coaster. Pacing looks great, and the near misses add to the sense of speed.

Wow i was expecting it to have the vest restraints like banshee but it has normal over the shoulder restraints thats amazing!!

To me it looks like they took a complete step back to the Gen 1 trains.

Gröna Lund and B&M have done a fantastic job here, what a great little park. Definitely need to go here sometime in my life.

How this park continues to fit rides into their space is beyond me. Looks great!

When there is no space left... just build under and over the park. But I really hope the get their planned expansion approved so they can expand the park on the nearby parking lot.

[@christianschweda2530]

Thank your very much for this awesome footage and the captivating narrative. When I first saw, that you did "360-Post-Processing" again, I was afraid that it could ruin (one of) the first POV(s) of this highly anticipated ride - but you used it scarcely and it added to the footage rather than obscuring it. Well done, great video!

[@FABHadventures]

Happy you enjoyed it. With this video I just wanted to make a first look and thoughts video since I hade no possibility to make a "real" pov.

[@FABHadventures]

Hi! A lot of comments here and elsewhere about the video. I know it is not the greatest quality and this video was not shot as a POV and I avoided using the word in the video and title. The video is more meant to be a short recap of my experience on my first ride on Monster and give a sneak-peak of what the ride is like. I hope you can appreciate it for what it is! Thanks for watching.

[@ThatRollerCoasterNerd]

May you publish a POV, is that’s possible? It looks insanely fun

Those new B&M trains look amazing!

They sure do! And the restraints are excellent.

[@HuvipuistoFaavu]

Looks eaven better from the train! Neat near-miss elements and unique layout for B&M invert. What was the best element and did you get any airtime on the camelback hill?

[@FABHadventures]

Hard to tell... but I think the first drop and the zero-g roll. But also the jr.immelman and the dive up into panoramic spiral. And the corkscrew... Everything was great! You have to come to Stockholm and try it out!

[@MrPopsfreshnmyer]

Your videos for Monster have been fantastic, thank you for putting the time into them. The engineering on this is amazing, it's stunning to see it in motion. Monster looks like the spawn of B&M's first invert, Batman: The Ride. Small foot print with every element immediately snapping in and out of the next one until the brake run. Will this run with 2 trains?

[@FABHadventures]

Thank you very much! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. It is really comments like this that give me energy to work on additional movies. Yes, they have two trains but will probably not use them both much this year since they unfortunately will have a very strict capacity limited when they open.

I rode monster yesterday for the first time and i was super nervous! But my friends helped me build up the courage to try. And i mist say its such a good experience and i love it!

B&M is by far the best coaster maker. Hands down I said what i said 😤😜😜😜😌

[@jonny-b4954]

Looks beautiful. Weird camera mount and/or lens you're using blurred the image at high G points though, or maybe it's the lower Sun in the sky blinding it. Really loses some speed on that Jr. Immelmann too. I dislike when B&M goes for hangtime elements over speed. Made me check how much flights to Sweden were going for as Gruna Lund has always been in my top 3 bucket list parks. Just might try and make it out there later this year when COVID dies down a little more. Give myself a week to explore Stockholm, see Vasa, Kolmarden.

[@FABHadventures]

You should definitly take a daytrip på Kolmården. Wildfire is great!

[@jonny-b4954]

[@toraque]

I think in this coaster it is more about the G forces than invertions. Little amount of invertions for an inverted coaster.

[@A7x_Forever]

Do you have any idea why they didn't fit it with vest restraints? seems kinda odd

[@FABHadventures]

I think they just preferred the old over the should restraints. Also I have read somewhere that the vest-restraints make the trains wider, but I can vouch for is it is true or not.

Looks like a very decent track layout, I counted 3 inversions all heartline rolls - ok so it doesn't have to have a loop or a corkscrew or two but something different perhaps would have made this stand out more - looks fun though I must say

[@FABHadventures]

The first inversion is a zero-g and the two second ones a counted as corkscrews accordiing to B&M and Gröna Lund. Check out this kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIC5e6CpgJeZn9E

[@fredrikh9299]

I counted to 4 inverts where all are rolls. Helix has 7 inverts where 5 are rolls and 2 are loops. Monster still could be a sweet ride though.

[@FABHadventures]

It sure is, even if it is shorter than Helix. It is more comparable to Valkyria in length. And you counted right - it has four inversions, but only three rolls. The first is a zero-g and third and fourth are corkscrews. The second inversion is an Jr.Immelman loop.
